• Flavored mayonnaise recipes
• Garlic cilantro lime mayonnaise
• Smoked paprika mayonnaise
• Miso mayonnaise

Ingredients

• 200 g Hellmann's mayonnaise
• 226 g Hellmann's mayonnaise
• Kraft mayonnaise
• Cains mayonnaise
• lemon juice
• Dijon mustard
• salt
• 1 large clove garlic
• 1/2 lime
• 2 tsp lime juice
• 2 Tbsp cilantro
• Lebanese red pepper paste
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tsp white miso

What it concludes

• Hellmann's mayonnaise in the jar and in the squeeze bottle are not the same product, as the squeeze bottle version is denser and has a different flavor profile.
• Kraft and Cains mayonnaises are sweeter, creamier, and less neutral than Hellmann's, and contain distinct flavors like onion, garlic, paprika, and apple cider vinegar that are difficult to mask when flavoring.
• Adding liquid ingredients like citrus juice to jarred Hellmann's mayonnaise does not thin it out too much because of its extra viscosity and jiggibility.
• Grating garlic on a microplane produces a finer consistency than pressing it.
